Russia has concentrated offensive efforts in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions and is trying to create the impression of preparing offensive action in other operational areas, in particular Zaporizhzhia, in order to distract the attention of the Ukrainian command.

Lieutenant General Serhiy Naiev, Commander of the Ukrainian Joint Forces, said this in an interview with the RBC Ukraine news outlet, Ukrinform reports.

"Given that the enemy has concentrated its efforts to develop the offensive in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, there are not enough forces and means to conduct offensive action in other operational areas. However, the Russians are trying to create the impression that they are preparing offensive action in other operational areas, primarily in Zaporizhzhia, in order to divert the attention of our military command," Naiev said.
